It is a community-owned lhakhang that is collectively managed by the six households of Gyetsa village. The lhakhang was built by King Songtsen Gampo in the 7th century. The lhakhang was initially built as a one-storied structure but later timber flooring was added to divide the structure into two floors during the reign of second King Jigme Wangchuk. The name of the lhakhang is associated with the name of the village and the main inner relic which is an eleven-faced statue of Thuji Chenpo Chenrizig.
